V23
PINEY GROVE
AND E.A. sAUNDERS
 

Eight miles west on "The Old Main Road" is Piney Grove.  The original portion build ca. 1800 on Southall's Plantation, is a rare survival of Tidewater log architecture.  Edmund Archer Saunders, a successful Richmond businessman, operated a store at Piney Grove between 1857 and 1874 when he sold it to Thomas Harwood.  Saunders later returned to Charles City County and purchased Upper Shirley and Weyanoke plantations.  Harwood enlarged the building for his home in 1910.
